I love Heatwave Coffee because they serve Little Bear coffee and the location is close to my home! The baristas are always so nice, they have fun experimenting with latte art to make you feel welcome, and everything on their menu is delicious. It's a fun place that I recommend to everyone in the Northeast Heights.

DELICIOUS! The green chile burrito was so yummy as were the sea salt chocolate chunk cookie and lemon loaf! I also tried the hibiscus berry tea, cold, and it was very refreshing. Very welcoming and had a cozy comfy atmosphere. The guys working were kind, efficient and attentive. The music wasn’t blaring and they have WiFi! 10/10 will go again!

Heatwave Coffee is easily my favorite coffee shop to study at. The environment is perfect — quiet enough to focus, but still warm and welcoming. It’s also a great place to meet new people and feel part of the community. The coffee is amazing. I always go for either the macchiato or the espresso tonic, and both are consistently top-notch. Their pastries are incredible, always fresh and full of flavor. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service is excellent. They host awesome events, and the prices are super reasonable for the quality you get. You can tell they have a real commitment to excellence in everything they do. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to work, relax, or just grab an outstanding coffee.

Tried Heatwave for the first time today. I tried their coconut cream matcha and I was very impressed. The taste was very delicious on a hot day. The inside of the shop was very cute and definitely busy. I’d highly recommend trying their matcha. I’m excited to go back and try their golden milk.

Ordered a brown sugar/lavender latte and it was AMAZING! Also i want to note how great the customer service was. The barista who made my drink made sure to have me try my drink before i walked away with it to make sure it was made right and i was so thankful! Truly made my whole day!! Definitely recommend this place, the only thing i wish is that they had earlier hours so i could get coffee from here before my early morning hospital shift

The NE Heights has a new local coffee spot and it's everything we needed. Great brew, delicious locally sourced breakfast burritos, pastries, and waffles. Clean, bright, and friendly. This is the place where you walk in and get greeted by name. I'm a particular fan of the marsala dirty chai--the coffee shot really brings out the Indian flavor profile. Delicious! Seasonal pastries aren't too sweet, and the green chile burritos have a great garlicky undercurrent. A new favorite that's stealing business away from Starbucks.

I had a fantastic experience at Heatwave Coffee! The variety of options on the menu is impressive, catering to every coffee lover's taste. Whether you're in the mood for a classic espresso or something more creative, they've got you covered. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure my visit was perfect from start to finish. The location is spotless, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. Heatwave Coffee is definitely my new go-to spot for a caffeine fix! Highly recommended!

Kendra, the barista is the type of employee you want to work at a cafe. Her superb customer service makes it a lively experience for anyone who is looking to enjoy a cup of coffee with a friendly smile and attitude. She knew her products, she sold us on the matcha guava lemonade or something like that. But it was slamming (that’s east coast slang for really good). She was definitely friendly and responded perfectly when she couldn’t except bills over 20. It be a loss for this establishment if they lost this kind soul. In fact, if I were to open my own cafe, I’d try to poach her. If she asks for a raise give it, 5 star quality character hard to come around. The donut and the scone were amazing. I’d order a dozen if I could. The vanilla late complimented the scone very nicely. The ambience is perfect for working or socializing. I highly recommend this cafe. Cheers Paul -Khalil
